If I Could Paint

If I Could Paint
If I could paint,
I’d walk across
The aqua sea,
Step over ripple waves,
Allow cerise reflection
To dry untouched.
I’d pass cormorants
Dancing tip-toe intricate
Before plunging deep,
Catch welcome on a breeze,
As I’d hasten to this canvas
Stretched horizon wide.
I’d feel chill-toe splash
To reach before scarlet
Burst amidst magnolia clouds,
Sketched rough in haste
In gray dawn light,
When all was quiet still.
Once there touch-close
I’d estimate his texture,
Movement – depth – swirl,
The artistry contained therein
That drew me close from
Far out beyond the sands.
And in this private showing
I’d ponder his intent and
In his purpose add
Buff lines – dimension,
Suggesting shape – direction
To this blossoming dawn.
